They're not voting because...

I'm not voting because I think that "...

I'm not voting because I think that "my vote will count" or that any of the parties will do anything for me. I AM voting because as a whole the public's vote will count and the parties will be forced to consider people like me. To think of voting in personal terms is a mistake, selfish, and misses the point entirely.

About Not Apathetic

NotApathetic was built so that people who are planning not to vote
in the UK General Election
on May 5th can tell the world why. We won't try to persuade you that
voting is a good or a bad idea - we're just here to record and share
your explanations. Whether ideological, practical or other, any reason
will do.

A lot of users would like us to
mention that if you spoil your ballot paper, it will
be counted. So if you want to record a vote for "none of the
above", you can.
